Definition: Motion |
MotionNoun1. A natural event that involves a change in the position or location of something. 2. The use of movements (especially of the hands) to communicate familiar or prearranged signals. 3. A change of position that does not entail a change of location; "the reflex motion of his eyebrows revealed his surprise"; "movement is a sign of life"; "an impatient move of his hand"; "gastrointestinal motility". 4. A state of change; "they were in a state of steady motion". 5. A formal proposal for action made to a deliberative assembly for discussion and vote; "he made a motion to adjourn"; "she called for the question". 6. The act of changing your location from one place to another; "police controlled the motion of the crowd"; "the movement of people from the farms to the cities"; "his move put him directly in my path". 7. An optical illusion of motion produced by viewing a rapid succession of still pictures of a moving object; "the cinema relies on apparent motion"; "the succession of flashing lights gave an illusion of movement". Verb1. Show, express or direct through movement; "He gestured his desire to leave". Source: WordNet 1.7.1 Copyright © 2001 by Princeton University. All rights reserved. |

Etymology: Motion \Mo"tion\, noun. [French, from Latin motio, from movere, motum, to move. See Move.]. (references) |
| Domain | Definition |
Aerospace | The act, process, or instance of change of position. Also called movement, especially when used in connection with problems involving the motion of one craft relative to another.Absolute motion is motion relative to a fixed frame of reference. Actual motion is motion of a craft relative to the earth. Apparent or relative motion is change of position as observed from a reference point which may itself be in motion. Diurnal motion is the apparent daily motion of a celestial body. Direct motion is the apparent motion of a planet eastward among the stars; retrograde motion, the apparent motion westward among the stars. Motion of a celestial body through space is called space motion, which is composed of two components: proper motion, that component perpendicular to the line of sight; and radial motion, that component in the direction of the line of sight.

(2) If force acts on a body, it will produce a change of motion proportionate to the force, and in the same direction (as that in which the force acts). (3) When one body exerts force on another, that other body reacts on it with equal force. Source: Brewer's Dictionary. |

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
In law, a motion is a procedural device to bring a limited but contested matter before a court for decision.In parliamentary procedure, a motion is a formal step by one member, introducing a matter for consideration. Generally further consideration occurs only if another member immediately seconds the motion .
In physics, motion means a change in the position of a body with respect to time, as measured by a particular observer in a particular frame of reference. Until the end of the 19th century, Newton's laws of motion, which he posited as axioms or postulates in his famous Principia, were the basis of what has since become known as classical physics. Calculations of trajectories and forces of bodies in motion based on Newtonian or classical physics were very successful until physicists began to be able to measure and observe very fast physical phenomena.
At very high speeds, the equations of classical physics were not able to accurately calculate correct values. To address these problems, the ideas of Albert Einstein concerning the fundamental phenomena of motion were adopted in lieu of Newton's. Whereas Newton's laws of motion assumed absolute values of space and time in the equations of motion, Einstein's theories assumed relative values for these concepts. Since Einstein's equations yielded accurate results at high speeds and Newton's did not, the concept of relativity was established in modern theoretical physics, and Einstein's theory of relativity for bodies in motion has usurped Newton's laws of motion, based on absolute space and time. However, as a practical matter, Newton's equations are much easier to work with than Einstein's and therefore are more often used in applied physics and engineering.
It is interesting to note, however, that because motion is defined as the proportion of space to time, these concepts are prior to motion, just as the concept of motion itself is prior to force. In other words, the properties of space and time determine the nature of motion and the properties of motion, in turn, determine the nature of force. Therefore, relative space and relative time result in relative motion, which means that the unit values of space and time can change for observers moving at high speeds relative to each other. These concepts have led physicists in general to conclude that only relative motion can be measured and that absolute motion is meaningless. See also equation of motion, Newton's laws of motion.
